How do I turn on, off, and adjust the Fatigue Alert break recommendation in my BMW?

If the current driving behavior becomes less alert or fatigued, a message is displayed in the control display with the recommendation to take a break. 

 

Perform the following in the iDrive menu to turn on, off and adjust the break recommendation:
